Draft Act Must Be


Observed, Says FBI


Violation Is Serious Matter
Which Carries Stringent
Penalties

The federal bureau of investiga-
tion urges all eligible men to com-
ply fully with provisions of the se-
lective service act of 1948.
In pointing out provisions of the
act and affirmative steps eligible
men may tak e to avoid delin-
quency, the FBI says that a viola-
tion of the selective service act is
a serious matter, since the act is
designed to provide for the common
defense by increasing the personnel
of the armed forces and provide for
their training. A wilful violator may
be subjected to stringent penalties,
including imprisonment up to five
years, or a fine as high as $10,000,
or both.
Recently J. Edgar Hoover, direc-
tor of the FBI, suggested, for the
benefit of those not familiar with
the requirements, observance of the
following:
Register promptly.
Fill out and return y utr question-
naire promptly. .' :
Keep youd local board advised of
your correct mailing address.
Report for examination and in-
duction when so ordered.
Report' changes in your family
status or occupation which may
have a bearing on your classifica-
tion.
Always carry your registration
certificate and classification notice
on your person.
If you have made an honest mis-
take, talk it over with your local
board.
All male persons residing in the
United States or its possessions be-
tween the ages of 18 and 26 are re-
quired to register. Persons becom-
ing 18 must register within five
days after their 18th birthday.
Where investigation, reveals vio-
lations of the selective service act,
the facts will be presented to the
proper United States attorney for
a decision on prosecutive action.
All registrants are cautioned
against making false or fictitious
registration. The possession of a
fraudulently obtained, forged or al-
tered classification notice or regis-
tration certificate is also a viola-
tion of the act.

District Superintendent Will
Preach At Methodist Church

Rev. Wilbur L. Walton, superin-
tendent of the Marianna district,
will preach at the Methodist Church
next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock,
according to an announcement 'by
Rev. Loyd Tubb, pastor.
"Rev. Walton was appointed to
the Marianna district at the June
conference," said Rev. Tubb, "and
this will be his first service at the
Port St. Joe church. The people of
our church are eagerly looking for-
ward to his visit with us, and we
extend a cordial invitation to all to
join with us in the service Sunday
evening."
The first quarterly conference is
to be held following the service.

Other Matters Disposed of
By Board At Special
Session Saturday

A county government budget of
$171,685, requiring a levy of 17.2
mills, was officially adopted by the
board of county commissioners at
a special meeting held last Satur-
day morning in the court house at
Wewahitchka. The budget is $33,-
150 more than the '49-50 budget and
the levy is 2.7 mills more than the
14.5 village this year.
The assessment by funds is as
follows:
General Revenue ...................------. 4.8
Fine and Forfeiture ..----- 1.5
Road and Bridge ------ 3.5
Agriculture and Livestock --0.3
County Service Officer --- ---0.2
$200,000 Canal Bond ...---- 1.0
Court House and Jail Inter-
est and Sinking ------- 1.3
County Fire Protection --- 2.0
Health Unit 1.0
Court House and Jail Building 1.6
Total millage 17.2
The board members also went
through the formality of accepting
the school board's budget of $416,-
035.59 for operation of the schools
for the ensuing term, together with
the 'millage, which is divided as
follows :
County Current School Fund 3.5
,County B&B Reserve Fund.... 2.0
Special Tax School District
Current 3.0
District 2 Bond Interest and
Sinking Fund (old)--------- 1.0
Total millage 9.5
Among other matters taken up
by the board was the passage of a
resolution requesting the railroad
commission to deny the application
of the Apalachicola Northern Rail-
road Company for discontinuance
of the "Doodlebug," the resolution
stating, in part, that "the continued
operation of said train is essential
to the economic interest and con-
venience of the citizens of Gulf
county."
A group insurance plan was ap-
proved by the board for county em-
ployes and county officials, with
the county paying a pro rata part

Not Guilty Verdicts Handed
Down In Two Court Cases

Two verdicts of not guilty-one
directed by the court-were handed
down Monday in trial sessions of
the fall term of circuit court held
in Wewahitchka.
The jury returned a verdict of
not guilty in the case of L. T. Mon-
ford and Vernon Bowen, charged
with the armed robbery of Les Gay
of this city.
In the case of John D. Simpson,
charged with grand larceny, Judge
E. Clay Lewis Jr., directed a ver-
dict of not guilty. Leroy Hicks, also
charged in connection with this
case, was still at large after failing
to appear for arraigmnet.
Emmanuel Alday was to go on
trial yesterday on a charge of first
degree murder in the death, last
May of Deputy Sheriff Mose Hill.

discontinuance of the "Doodlebug"
by the A. N. Railroad had been
postponed again.


but it is understood the train suf-
fered cuts, bruises and minor lacer-
ations which is taking some time
to repair.
We were informed yesterday as
we went to press that the "Doodle-
bug" was to resume service again
last night.

New Demonstration

Agent for Gulf County

Miss Emma Stevenson Succeeds
Mrs. Revell, Who Resigned
Due To III Health

Miss Anna Mae Sikes of Talla-
hassee, district home demonstra-
tion agent for this area, announces
the appointment of Emma Steven-
son as home demonstration agent
for Gulf county, succeeding Mrs.
Wilma Revell, who resigned be-
cause of ill health after serving as
county demonstration agent for the
past five years.
Miss Stevenson, who began her
duties Wednesday of last week, has
been interested in home demonstra-
tion work for many years. She was
a member of the 4-H Club for seven
years, serving in the capacity of lo-
cal leader during her last year in
high school, and was a member of
the college 4-H Club for four years
while attending Florida State Col-
lege for Women, from which she
graduated in 1945 with the degree
of bachelor of science in home eco-
nomics.
She has served one year under an
interne program set up in the state
home demonstration office during
which time she worked with vari-
ous agents throughout the state.
Following this, she was appointed
assistant hone demonstration agent
for Pinellas county and was later
transferred to Polk county to serve
in the same capacity.
Last year Miss Stevenson re-
signed to attend the University of
Tennessee to do graduate work.
With half of this work completed,
she accepted a home economics
teaching position in Plant City. At
the close of the regular school year
she was appointed to teach home
economics in the summer recrea-
tion program, and comes to Gulf
county from that position.
Prior to the appointment of Miss
Stevenson, the job of Gulf county
demonstration agent had been filled
temporarily by Miss Elizabeth Hud-
son, who is now teaching in Ap-
opka.

Rich's Curb Market Soon
To Have New Quarters

Work was started this week by
E. J. Rich, owner of Rich's Curb
Market, on a new building to be lo-
cated on the corner of Williams
Avenue and Third Street, directly
back of his present business estab-
lishment.
The new store building, to be 85
by 60 feet, will be constructed of
concrete blocks on a 90 by 150-foot
lot, which will give parking space
on three sides and the street side.
Approximate cost of the struc-
ture, which is being built under the
supervision of C. Neidig, will be
around $14,000.

SERVICE OFFICER HAS MUMPS,
NOT TO BE HERE TOMORROW

Bill Linton, county service offi-
cer, phoned us yesterday to state
that he will not be at his usual
stand in the Legion home tomor-
row, and would we please put a no-
tice to that effect in The Star.
Upon inquiry, Bill divulged the
startling fact that he had acquired
a nifty case of mumps.

Saints Take First Two Games
and Play Third Here
This Evening

Defeating the Panama City Sea-
hawks 11-1 and 6-5 for the best two-
out-of-three games in the playoff/
of the Gulf Coast League to de-
termine which teams would go into
the final five-game series for the
championship, the St. Joe Saints
are now favored to emerge with
the coveted flag over the Apalachi-
cola Oystermen, who entered the
final set-to by downing the Blounts-
town Buccaneers in two straight
games.
In the opening game, played here
Sunday, the proceedings w e r e
started off with a brief speech by
George Tapper, who announced that
it was "Leonard Belin Day," a day
on which "to pay honor 'to one of
Port St. Joe's most outstanding
athletes." Following George's intro-
duction, Tommy Mitchell, on be-
half of his team mates, presented
Leonard with a handsome wrist
watch as a token of their appreci-
ation.
Sunday's Game
Apalachicola took a one-run lead
in the third inning when Bennefield
crossed the plate after he had made
a single, went third on a long drive
to left field and an error, and came
home after the catch of Martin's
high fly.
The Saints, not to be outdone,
made it 2-1 in the bottom of the
third when Cowart was walked,
Calhoun singled, Lambert was safe
on a sacrifice and Cowart was safe
at home when Martinez, the Cuban
pitcher, tossed the ball over his
cather's head. Calhoun chalked up
number two when he came in after
Price's fly to center was caught.
St. Joe made three more in the
sixth and one in the eighth, mean-
while holding the visitors score-
less, although they threatened in
the seventh.
Calhoun started on the mound
for St. Joe and was relieved by Jim
Schantel in the first of the seventh.
Martinez started for Apalachicola
and was yanked in the sixth after
three runs had crossed the plate,
being replaced by Cottie Hendels.
Wednesday's Game
In the second game of the series,
played Wednesday night at Apa-
lachicola, the Saints shut out' the
Oystermen 1-0 in a bitterly-fought
contest. The single counter was
scored in the fourth inning when
Belin was walked, stole second af-
ter two outs, and came home on
a line single over second by Weis-
enbach.
It was a close decision by Um-

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

If you want to see something
beautiful and quite out of the ordi-
nary, do drive out to Mrs. George
Paton's and see her gloriosa lily
which is now in full bloom. It is
the only one in St. Joe, so far as
she knows, but it is so easy to grow
and gives so much color at the end
of the summer when there is little
in bloom, that it should be more
widely grown. The gloriosa roths-
childiana, which is the scientific
name of this lovely lily, is a native
of Africa.
The stems are weak, so the bulb
should be set by a shrub for it to
climb on. One bulb will practically
cover a small shrub with blooms by
the end of summer. Mrs. Patton has
hers growing on a duranta. They
are frequently planted by azaleas.
They should be set out from Janu-
ary to April and they will give
blooms from June to October. They
do best in a sunny or semi-shady
location. Though they will grow

with practically no care, a liberal
feeding when growth is well under
way will be appreciated. Propaga-
tion is by tuber division or by off-
sets.
Mrs. Patton's lily is crimson-col-
ored, margined with yellow and
broadening to a yellow base. The
new hybrids can be obtained in a
variety of colors, from cream thru
all shades of pink, purple and red.
She says the blooms keep well when
cut, so are excellent for flower ar-
rangements.
Question: When can I transplant
amaryllis bulbs?
Answer: The bulbs may be trans-
planted at any time if a clump of
dirt large enough to preserve the
root system is moved with the bulb.
If bulbs are to be bared and stored,
fall is the best time for transplant-
ing.

Attend Funeral In Georgia
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Rich and son
David, and Earl Rich attended the

Ga. They also visited Mr. and Mrs.

Our Country Right or Wrong

WHO OWNS THE WATERWAYS?
An editorial in the Palatka Daily News in re-
gard to speed boats racing up and down the wa-
terways of the state strikes us as particularly ap-
priate, especially in the matter of the intracoastal
canal.
The. editorial says: "You don't have to be an
old-timer to remember when you could putt-putt
up Dunn's Creek, the Oklawaha or the St. Johns
River without taking your life in your hands. To-
day when you take to the river roads you are in
as .much danger as you are on the highway.
While you move serenly upstream, an aquatic
Barney Oldfield sweeps around a sharp turn
throwing three-foot waves from a high-powered
outboard motor, and unless you have time to
meet these waves you will be swamped or
washed into the hammock.
"The speedsters oftentimes will sweep out of
sight with nary a turn of the head to see what
has become of you. Or if you are unwise enough
to anchor near a sharp turn in the river, or have
to stop there to refill your motor, you stand a
good chance of being sliced in two pieces by
one of these speed 'demons of the waterways.
"Now, we are not saying that there is no place
for the fast boat on our rivers and streams .
But we like safety and courtesy. There is no rea-
son why the big motor owners can't approach

SMA OUON SHt and tries have developed to do for us
MOONSHINE today what everybody in the "good
O SlHiN -' old days" used to do for himself.


If you've been wondering why
Ken Brodnax has been going about
with the toe cut out of one of his
shoes we can reliably inform you
that he was bitten by a redbreast.
. Seems Ken, an inveterate fish-
erman, was dunking worms last
week on a broiling hot day and, in
order to keep a bit cooler, he took
off his shoes and poured about an
inch of water in the bottom of his
boat. A large redbreast bream he
caught, while flopping around in
the water, took a bite at Ken's toe,
probably in the belief that it was
some new form of bait. ... We're
still wondering why Ken didn't bite
back at the varmint.


We make it quite a regular habit
when going over to that section of
the business district between 3rd
Street and 5th Street to meander
through the Danley Furniture Com-
pany store it saves walking
around the block. .. We wouldn't
blame Manager Wayne Buttram a
bit if he should stick up a "No
Trespassing" sign on his back door
facing the rear door of The Star
office.

When Charlie Guilford overturned
his dairy truck last Friday morn-
ing, he said he not only saw stars,
but also the Milky Way.

We hadn't heard Ed Pridgeon Jr., at the ball game Sunday,
he's really looking good better
talking of his hunting dog in re-

cent months, and so we asked him i a
ast four or five vYears. He said


what had become of it. Ed told
us that that there houn' dawg was
so intelligent that when he showed
him a board on which to stretch
a possum skin, the dog would go
out and catch a possum whose hide
would exactly fit the board. How-
ever, said Ed, the dog saw the fam-
ily ironing board on the back porch
one day, took a good look at it, and
hasn't been seen since.

We've never tried to eat a pos-
sum, but a lot of people claim they
are excellent. But speaking of
meat, and other foods, did you ever
stop to think about where your
meat and other stuff comes from,
and how infinitely complex living
has become? In the early days
of this country feeding the family
was, in some respects, a relatively
simple matter. The pioneers grew
practically everything they needed.
If a man wanted some meat, he
took his rifle, went out into the
woods and shot a deer or a bear,


'that for 20 years he'd been fishing
with a cast net, but that the doctor
had informed him he'd have to cut
it out, so now he has to fish with
a pole and worms. ... Personally,
he's welcome to fishing with a cast
net. We tried it once-and once
was a great sufficiency. We picked
up the net, started to twirl it about
over our head, and first thing we
knew, all those little lead weights
on the perimeter started whacking
us on the noggin. Bet a phren-
ologist would have gone crazy try-
ing to read all those bumps.

Health Board Has

Vital Knowledge

of Gulf Hurricanes

Will Be Useful In Event That
'Total War' Comes
To Florida

Experience which Florida State
Board of Health personnel have
gained in fighting, hurricanes will
prove valuable in the event "total
war" ever comes to this state, says
David B. Lee, the health agency's
chief sanitary engineer.
"Any state which can learn how
to withstand the fury of a hurri-
cane as well as Florida has done in
the past 20 years can learn how to
stand up to any other disaster," he
says.
Lee is chairman of a civil defense
committee which is preparing a re-
port for the state civil defense
councilon what the agency can do
to protect the civilian population in
the event of atom bomb raids, bac-
teriological or biological warfare.
"We do not mean to scare the
people by talking about the possi-
bilities of such forms of warfare,"
says Lee. "We believe, rather, that
Florida residents will be reassured
to know that the state board of
health and other organizations and
agencies, such as the Red Cross,
the Salvation Army, the medical,
dental and nursing professions and
the blood banks are all actively
planning for counter-measures in
the possibility of total war.
"Such action will help to ease
the uncertainty of living in a world
which might explode again into a
global war. Work of organizing an
adequate civil defense program is
under way ,and we are being guided
by the old axiom that it is better to
be prepared for the worst and hope
for the best."
Lee pointed out that state board
of health personnel have had "valu-
able experience" in coping with
medical and sanitation problems
arising from hurricanes in the past.
"We learned how to do something
about protecting the people from
hurricanes," he said, "and we are
equally confident that we can de-
vise protective measures against
undue loss of life in other types of
disasters."
Another bright spot in the civil
defense picture in Florida is the
state's main type of water supplies.
"Most of our municipalities," said
Lee, "get water from artesian wells
and should water in reservoirs be
contaminated from any source, they
can be cut out and clean, safe wa-
ter pumped directly from under-
ground sources through existing
distribution systems."

Would Cut Cancer Free Schooling 'Myth'


Deaths In Half


Article Points Out That Peri-
odic Checks Would Get
.Immediate Results

The trial run of a plan to cut the
'nation's death rate from cancer in
half is described in an article ap-
pearing in the September issue of
t h e Woman's Home Companion,
says Harry McKnight, Gulf county
commander for the American Can-
cer Society. He said that the so-
ciety's campaign to make every
doctor's office a cancer detection
center will receive impetus from
the article.
The article, "How To Prevent
100,000 Cancer Deaths a Year," de-
scribes the effectiveness of a pro-
gram begun in Hillsdale county,
Michigan, in 1948. It emphasizes
the importance of individual physi-
cians performing careful cancer ex-
amination, stating: "If every one
of the nation's 120,000 doctors
would start looking with concen-
trated determination for early and
curable cancer-and if every man
and woman would co-operate by
asking for a periodic cancer exami-
nation-we could cut the death rate
in half. Not 10 years from now, not
even next year, but overnight."
These figures are borne out by
the experiment in Hillsdale county,
When Hillsdale shocked by its
high cancer death rate-decided to
do something about it, the doctors
called in four lecturers from the
University of Michigan to give re-
fresher courses in cancer detec-
tion. Then, aided by community
leaders, they saw to it that people
learned that their doctors were cru-
sading against cancer and that com-
plete examinations were available
at the same cost as any other phy-
sical examination.
The article lists these results, to-
taled by Hillsdale physicians after
the first two years of the plan:
"They had examined 1,721 patients
and found 65 cases of cancer. One-
third were in the early stage-pre-
cisely 33.8%. Another 29.2%, nearly
three out of ten, ,were only moder-
ately advanced."
McKnight says the Hillsdale plan
contains two of the ingredients that
are needed for cancer control in
-Gulf county-public alertness and
responsibility a mon g physicians
who keep abreast of current diag-
nostic and treatment methods.
"While waiting for our research
scientists to probe the mysteries of
,cancer," he said, "we can save lives
now-today-if we can make every
doctor's office in Gulf county a de-
tection center."

Ben Franklin on Peace
At length we are in peace, God
be praised, and long, very long
may it continue. All wars are fol-
lies, very expensive and very mis-
chievous ones. When will mankind
be convinced of this, and agreejto
settle their differences by arbitra-
tion?

develop. Strong, independent and
loyal, they are ready to do their ut-
most in anything which is asked of
them for the good and preservation
of the land they love.
And it should be reassuring to all
to know that these men, with their
knowledge of crops and' crop pro-
duction, are ready to throw all their
efforts into a great and energetic
drive to produce the food and other
agricultural products that are or
may be needed by America in what-
ever crisis that might arise.
They and thousands of other far-
mers all over this great land are
ready. As in World War II, as in all
danger periods in American his-
tory, they are staunchly loyal and
eager to help, to do their part. Dur-
ing World War II they produced
millions of tons of food, they broke
all production records, they pro-
duced more food than any other
country in the world in the history
of the world. From their fields and
flocks and herds and forests came
a great outpouring of food and other
agricultural products that made it
possible for this country and her
allies to emerge victorious.
Without that great production,
victory would not have been pos-
sible, for food is necessary, funda-
mental-the most essential of all
products for war or peace. The food
and other things that American
farmers produced gave the people
of America and the peoples of many
other countries the strength that
was needed for victory.
Farmers of Florida and every
other state are hoping that therb
will not be another world-wide con-
flict such as World War II-are
hoping for peace and good will in
the world-but they are prepared
to do all they can, and they can do
much. if they are called on again
for another great herculean effort
such as the one they made from
.1939 through 1945.
In such times as these, it is good
for every American to know that
farmers are ready and eager to do
their great share.
